"Is that her real name?‬," people always ask. "Yes,"‬ Pomm explains. Her mother,
born in Paris, read a novel by the French author Colette in which one of the
characters was a little girl named Pomme, which means apple in French.
(The "e" was dropped to ensure correct pronunciation in the U.S.) The peaceful
moments and beautiful colors of Pomm s work have been inspired by her bi-
cultural upbringing. While in Europe, she found she loved the old world
architecture and feeling, particularly the southern regions of France known
for abundant sun and flowers. Pomm s work has been seen all over the U.S., in
Europe and Japan. She is a member of the National Watercolor Society as well
as The Watercolor West Society. Collectors of her work include Kirstie Alley,
David Hasselhof and Priscilla Presley. "
